I save after doing anything now gap, then if something is bad, its no great loss. learned that lesson early, renaming the main bone screws the file as well as crashing the editor, going to try it on an unmodded file....see what happens.

will do some reading, although a 6cyl, is a 6cyl. it will have to do.

no I was thinking clone the mesh in max, then put 4 of them into a single file....worth a shot.

I was more surprised than amazed tbh, already done Gap, dont know why the black square shows in that shot, I could not see it when I grabbed it, and its good in Goblin as well
